aprillia is good fun and ideal if you're wanting to just play for a while.
you can get a restricted bike if you wish and derestrict it when you have full license.
as for the R1 weapon...

go for an R6 like me then (well not yet, but soon)
r6 is basically r1's little brother. easier to insure too.

yeah true, but would you not still be paying for the insurance on an r6? or do they take the restriction into account?

best ask anton2k3
his garage http://www.corsasport.co.uk/board/garage.php?action=usergarage&owner=Anton2K3&carid=1314&page=all
